NAME

6       KerneloopsScanner plugin for abrt(8)
7

DESCRIPTION

9       abrt  is  a  daemon  that watches for application crashes. When a crash
10       occurs, it collects the crash data and takes action  according  to  its
11       configuration.  This manual page describes the KerneloopsScanner plugin
12       for abrt.
13
14       This plugin reads the system log file (default  /var/log/messages)  and
15       stores  the  kernel  oops  crashes, which were not already reported, to
16       abrt's debug dump directory.
17
18       To distinguish between  new  crashes  and  crashes  that  were  already
19       reported, the plugin makes its own entry in the log file, which acts as
20       a separator.
21

INVOCATION

23       The plugin is invoked in the abrt.conf configuration file.  No  parame‐
24       ters are necessary.
25

CONFIGURATION

27       The KerneloopsScanner.conf configuration file contains one entry:
28
29   SysLogFile
30       The file to scan. The default is
31       SysLogFile = /var/log/messages
32

EXAMPLES

34       This is a snippet from the abrt.conf configuration file.  Every 10 sec‐
35       onds look if there were any kernel crashes:
36
37       [common]
38       ActionsAndReporters = Kerneloops, KerneloopsScanner
39       [cron]
40       10 = KerneloopsScanner
